JOB DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED HERE
CITY FACED WITH BIG SHORTAGE
SERIOUSNESS OF SITUATION BRINGS APPEAL FROM U.S. EMPLOYMENT OFFICE

Guest, Jr., Manager of the Negro Divisional Office, where are more than 2,500 applicants listed and classified in his office according to occupational skills and abilities, and with approximately 200 job openings, placements efforts are restricted. The United States Employment Service office must have the full support of the community if it is to discharge its responsibility to veterans and other job seekers applying in increasing numbers. In the last few months, the traffic has increased considerably, and it is become difficult to find jobs for those seeking work. ing work. New job opportunities must be developed and all employers are urged to file their job orders regularly with the local office if the community is to furnish employment to the men and women who are returning from the armed forces, displaced war workers, and new entrants into the labor market. During the war period, the U.S.E.S. was required by executive order to recruit and refer workers according to strict priorities for the production of es- (Continued on page 4)

TOUR THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS INTRIGUES MEDICAL MEET VISITORS By Bessie Scott Beauty coupled with daintiness in food and decorations, enhanced by the personal loveliness of the guests and their hostesses made a gala affair of the "Come, Let Us Meet" garden party given in honor of the National Medical and Dental Auxiliaries by the Falls City Medical and Dental Auxiliaries on the campus at the Louisville Municipal College, Tuesday evening, August 20. Informal in spirit the affair initiated the friendliness that lasted throughout the meetings of the organizations. Never-to-be-forgotten also was the sight-seeing tour through the Bluegrass with luncheon at the Kentucky State College. Brief speeches were made by Mrs. Murray Walls, president of the local auxiliary; President Rufus B. Atwood, of the college, who welcomed the guests; and Dr. Bush Hunter of Lexington, who related the reason that "green grass is called 'blue.'" Dr. Hunter was in charge of the tour of the stock farms. From the college the group was taken to the Calumet Farm owned by Warren Wright, a showplace with a six furlong race track and a mile chute, the home of Whirlaway, the 1941 Derby Winner. Next on schedule was a visit to the Idle Hour Farm, formerly owned by the late Colonel E. R. Bradley, but an inspection of this farm was (Continued on page 4)

YOUNG PIANIST IN OBERLIN RECITAL Tella Marie Cole, young Louisville pianist, will appear in a recital closing her work at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, in Warner Hall, Oberlin, Ohio, Monday, September 16 at 7:30 p.m. Entering Oberlin in the fall of 1941 at 16 and the youngest student among the 2,000 or more, Tella Marie won "second honor" as a result of her first year's study. For more than a year and a half, she has been ill and has spent much of her time in the hospital. Some months ago her case became serious, and she was taken to specialists in the Cleveland, Ohio, clinic. It is remarkable therefore that Tella Marie was listed among the Oberlin College graduates in June and is able and prepared to give the senior recital which completes her work at the nation's leading music conservatory this month.

Doss Business GROUP SPEAKER A. D. Doss, president of the Mammoth Life Insurance Co. was guest speaker at the noon luncheon of the Falls City Chamber of Commerce at the Del Rey, Wednesday, August 28. He made an interesting address on "My Observation Made of the National Medical and Dental Association." In his observation as a member of the Citizens' Committee, which aided in the entertainment of the guests, Mr. Doss said in part: "While attending the general meeting, I noticed with keen interest the different nationalities that sat on the platform. All skilled physicians; men of the field of medical science. Men trying to learn from other men -- whether they be yellow men, black men or white men. This presented a very good picture of how achievements and attainments transcend racial barriers. Another picture was presented to me. This time how achievement and attainment transcend discrimination against women. "I observed how they stressed health education particularly to be used in the rural sections of the country.

As a part of the "Better Citizen" campaign launched by the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P. for the purpose of arousing Negroes of Louisville and Jefferson County to the necessity of registering before the dead-line. yesterday, a closing appeal was made in a broadcast over station WGRC by Alfred F .Carroll, president of the Louisville Branch N.A.A.C.P., and I.

In the course of his ten-minute speech, Mr. Carroll said that although "the per-capita tax allowed by Kentucky for white and Negro education is far too low to guarantee adequate education for either, and that the same dismal picture characterizes our health program and hospitalization facilities, the Negro and white citizens of Kentucky are fortunate in that no citizen is denied the franchise if he is 21 years of age or over has resided in the State of Kentucky one year, in the county six months and in his precinct sixty days next preceding the election in which he wishes to vote. He does not have to take a written examination or be able to interpret the United States Constitution, and he does not have to pay a "poll tax." "But", said Carroll, "he must register, he must at some time go to the designated place in his county while registration books are open, and declare his qualifications.
